When the construction firm closed in June, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,750. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave. I've 4 children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. I have started working extra hours at a market stall, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here. Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent. Where the $2,750 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,600 • Late fees and court costs: $340 • Utilities in arrears: $190 • First month of rent as a buffer: $620 With deep gratitude, Tyler

    wishing you the best, Tyler. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

    • Roberto Enzo Amaral

      Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless

          wishing you the best, Tyler. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
